SP Cleanse - Day 10 - Cooking

I woke up this morning to find that the water was shut in my building. So I decided to brush my teeth with some bottled water... I know I am so fancy right?! I then had a bowl full of berries, usually I would have started the day with a SP Complete Smoothie but with no running water I didn't want to leave a mess to later clean up.

I headed off to NYHRC for a Body Sculpt class with one of my favorite instructors, I can’t wait until I can go to Zumba before Sculpt, but my foot just is not yet ready.

After the gym I headed to the Union Square Farmer’s Market to see what was available today. I picked up some fresh Asparagus as well as some more Tatsoi as I enjoyed it so much raw last week and thought I would try and cook it this week. It had been a while since I had seen Windfall Farms at the market and I was thrilled to see they were there. I stocked up on some sunflower greens, pea greens as well as mixed greens. After I hit the market I decided I would make a salad for lunch.

I headed over to Whole Foods and picked up some Tilapia as well as Cod which was today’s special and a few Cockles to add for flavor for tonight’s dinner.

Then I was headed home and had a salad in mind for lunch.

Mixed Green Salad with Tilapia and Clementine’s

Ingredients:

Mixed Greens

Sunflower Greens

Pea Greens

1 Kirby Cucumber

¼ Avocado

1 Clementine

1 pc Tilapia

1 tsp EVOO

First I placed the Mixed, Sunflower and Pea Greens in a bowl.

Next I heated a nonstick pan with 1 tsp of EVOO and placed the Tilapia in the pan. I seared on each side and then squeezed half of the Clementine over the fish.

I sliced the remaining Clementine over the salad and squeezed them a bit for a bit of flavor and added in the Cucumber and Avocado.

Thanks so much for such a different and intriguing salad! I have been eating salads daily for lunch, but am getting tired of the same old thing. Your salad actually made me hugry and want to try it. I love the clementines as a nice finish. What a great idea! Thanks for posting the recipe.Liz Scala (@CoachScala)

About Me

Born and raised in Long Island, NY I have seen many women go through the ups and downs of weight loss and gain. I myself had tried many diets and extreme measures to stay in shape. After graduating from Indiana University with a BA from the Health Physical Education and Recreation School I found myself working behind a desk for 5 years.
I woke up one day and realized that I was turning back into the young girl with eating issues and it was time to take hold of my life. I left my desk job and enrolled at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
While in school I have been learning various dietary theories as well as using them in my own life. In the 9 months since leaving my job I am the happiest and healthiest I have been in years and never felt better.
Now it is time for me to begin to help others overcome fears they have with food and other sorted issues.
